This is a rare piece made in 1980 by Tai Jing-nong, a running script of the Yan school with reference to the style of Wang Duo. This suggests the origins of Tai’s writings with a hint of the graceful style of Ni Yuan-lu, Ming dynasty. The calligraphy is densely structured with thick ink and lyrical lines forming a rhythmic composition. As a habit, Tai often used a small and slender brush in a vertical, swift yet cautious manner. Ink is dense, forming sturdy characters in a scholarly style. The artist started learning calligraphy through imitating regular scripts of the Yan school, followed by seal script of the Wei rubbings and running script of Ni Yuan-lu, the form that attracted wide attention. This work follows the traditional school calligraphy with a combination of edged and smooth lines, displaying the artist’s personality. It shows the sturdiness of Ni script and the carefree style of Wang Duo, each word separated by dry brush and thin lines, enhancing the movement of the calligraphy.
